Ben and I are on a quest to watch the best movies ever made, according to the imdb top 250. Tonight we tackled #124 with Paul Newman playing “Cool Hand Luke“. Newman’s character was a non-conformist, and was taken into custody for cutting the heads off of parking meters in his small town. Who could blame him; there isn’t much to do in a small town. As a rebel trying to stand up to authority, he simply could not adapt to his new life in a rural prison. He was a “natural born world-shaker” that just could not be contained. Sometimes we find that the imdb top 250 has some questionable calls, but this one stands tall for Newman’s excellent portrayal of this rebel without a cause.
